KFamily Insert (Synthesize Toolkit) Alternative

Revit
,
1

Hi,

since Revit Version 2026 the Synthesize Toolkit doesnt seem to work anymore. I have some older Script that rely on this Package, especially the Node KFamily Insert. Because I need to create a Revit Family from Dynamo Geometry.

Has Anybody found an Alternative for this Node?

Thanks! Kind regards,

Nico

FamilyType.ByGeometry may work for you; you just need to add a FamilyInstance.ByPoint after that.

That said, @Karam_Baki might know more about the status of the Synthesize package in 2026. Hopefully he’ll weigh in for you soon with any update.

Thank you Jacob! The Node FamilyType.ByGeometry does what I want. Although somehow the geometry is created in the origin in dynamo as well as in the Revit Project. But the Geometry isnt placed at the origin of the family.

Maybe I will try to do the conversion with Python Scripting. I will keep this thread updated.

Last I checked, families created this way will have an insertion point at the bounding box’s min point, not at the ‘internal origin’ of the project.

Thanks @jacob.small for the tag.
@nico.oerter KFamilyInsert for Revit 2026 has been supported. Please test and let me know.

I am passing my solid to the K-Family Insert Node but it doenst create a family - the output is simply “null”. I dont get an error message. I have changed the template path to the Revit 2026 folder.

I am using the node version 25.1.1801. I have uploaded the files if you want to try and replicate the problem.
